Tomorrow morning I will fly home to New York after spending two weeks in Austin. I’m not sure what I was expecting to gain from this trip, besides a 3-day pass to ACL Fest, which I discussed in the Music Blog, which I’m sure is the only blog on the internet less frequented than this one.
I got to see most of my friends, and that was nice. I didn’t get to work from home though, and when you’re used to working at home, that is not so nice. I don’t like hearing 50 different conversations while I try to learn a new product, I don’t like being passed over for lunch invites, I don’t like having to park a million miles away from the door, I don’t like freezing my ass off because I can’t control the thermostat…
Yeah, I’m ready to go back to my little east side apartment and act like a miser for the next few months. I won’t be able to expense my bottled water and fancy dinners, but I’ll have the luxury of a few moments’ peace in my own house whenever I want it.
